Back to the Future

A throwback to the heydays of science fiction, this unique sculpture is handmade from vintage picnic jugs, coffee thermoses, old vacuum cleaner tubes and other found objects. A playful study of mid-20th century American culture and design, Raygun Robot was influenced by artist Toby Fraley's love of robots and the sleek "futuristic" design style of diners, bowling alleys and tin toys of the era. This overgrown night light provides ambient lighting and is made mostly of recycled parts that have been screwed or bolted together. Handmade in Pennsylvania. Each is one of a kind and will vary.

Please allow 16 weeks for delivery.

For shipping purposes, the robot sculpture will arrive in two pieces and can be easily assembled with a screwdriver. Includes a 15-25 watt tubular light bulb. Standard lamp cord.

Unfortunately, this item cannot ship outside of the United States at this time.
